Trapping of plasma waves in small-scale cylindrical irregularities

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider the efficiency of trapping of short plasma waves excited by a high-power radio wave inside the magnetic field-aligned small-scale cylindrical irregularities with low density. It is shown that in the case of cylindrical irregularities the reflection of a plasma wave from the points of its transformation into cold plasma oscillations is sufficiently large. Therefore, this process must be taken into account in the calculation of heating of irregularities in the field of a high-power radio wave.
